All Thirty-Four Senate Races Have Been Decided, Only Three House Races Remain To Be Determined
Late last week, while the CSPEN Board of Directors was having its annual strategic budget and planning meeting, Senator Bob Casey (D) officially conceded the Pennsylvania Senate race between the challenger Dave McCormick (R). With the concession, the GOP picked up a total of four seats in the 2024 Elections and with it, majority control of the U.S. Senate for the 119th Congress.
Meanwhile, of the four-hundred and thirty-five seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, only two to three races have yet to be determined – depending upon which election resource you look to for the results. Of the three potential remaining races, two are races in California and one is a race in Iowa. And coincidentally, two of the three have a potential impact on membership on committees of interest to the higher education community.
The three races in play are:
California
13th District – Incumbent Rep. John Duarte (R) leads challenger Adam Gray by 204 votes with 99% of the votes tallied.
45th District – Challenger Derek Tran (D) leads incumbent Rep. Michells Steel by 545 votes with 99% of the voted tallied.
Iowa
1st District – Incumbent Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R) leads challenger Christina Bohanna by 798 votes with 99% of the votes tallied.*
(*Note — Some election tracking groups have already declared/called this race for Rep. Miller-Meeks and have been reflected as a win for Rep. Miller-Meeks in our Committee tracking.)
Updated 2024 Election Information
CSPEN continues to not only monitor, track and report the outcomes of 2024 Elections, but also share this important information with the community on our website. For those of you who may be interested, an updated version of the CSPEN 2024 Election Scorecard – Winners AND tracking of the impact of the 2024 Elections on the makeup of the three primary committees with jurisdiction over higher education policy and funding can be found on our website (cspen.com/).
What’s Next
CSPEN will continue to update the outcome of the two/three remaining House races once all media sources have definitively called the remaining races, will notify the community once they are confirmed, and place the final details on our website.
Throughout the remainder of this week (tomorrow, Wednesday, and Friday) and the beginning of next week (Monday and Tuesday) CSPEN will be sharing with you any new information which may be of importance to our community of students, schools, third-party service providers, and the employers who hire our graduates AND calling your attention to our “Giving Tuesday” fundraising campaign.
